One day, a group of tourists from Luxembourg arrived to study reptiles in the South Hebron Hills. They spread out around the area of the Susiya archaeological site with little plastic bags and magnifying glasses. We got off the jeep, soldiers with weapons, bulletproof vests, and you begin to ask them "What are you doing here, why did you come, where did you come from, are you connected to left-wing organizations, are you taking photos of the place, when are you leaving?" There was this one incident on a Saturday morning. There was an area that [we] knew they were heading to, we were prepared in advance with two jeeps, waiting for them to come. Four people arrived with cameras, less than the amount of soldiers there, and we immediately declared a yellow line for them: "you can't cross this line." Despite being tourists (in an earlier stage in his testimony the testifier described military blockades of territories through determining a yellow line). One person crossed, one of the officers approached him, and brought him back. After an hour of rattling on we called the police, the police continued the same discussion and after two hours they [the tourists] had enough and simply left.
A yellow line on the map is an area that Palestinians are not allowed to enter? Yes, exactly.
Where was it? Lucifer (Farm). They simply decided they can't enter. There’s a settlement nearby, Mizpe Lucifer. But what was strange about this yellow line was that it wasn't on a settlement, like in Avigayil. The yellow line was, in my opinion, simply to get them out of the area, and force these tourists, left-wing activists with cameras, to leave the place.
